Ifeanyi Ekwueme, a former Nigeria international and Enyimba FC Sporting Director, Ifeanyi Ekwueme has received huge praises from the Imo State Football Association Chairman, Barrister Ifeanyi Dike following his effort towards grassroot football development.

Dike made the spoke shortly after taking the ceremonial kick off of the maiden edition of the Nwankwo Kanu U-19 Inter State football tournament in Owerri centre on Tuesday.

The Man of Wig and Gown  lauded the spirited efforts of the former Super Eagles winger who also played professional football in Poland during his hey days, saying that his administration as Imo FA boss will always welcome such individuals and corperate organisations as they aim to revive grassroot football in the state.
